Kagome had wanted to lead Sango away to talk and discuss what had transpired in these last years they had been separated, but her attention was draw to the silver haired man still standing in the doorway.
She looked back at her mate and Sesshomaru, and noticed that they were rendered speechless. She stepped forward, bowing to the man who looked at her with interest. Hello. It seems that my mate and his brother are quite in shock at seeing you. Kagome felt strange stating the obvious, but until the man said who he was, and why he resonated death, she would resign herself to that.
The youkai raised a refined eyebrow and a brief smile crossed his lips. I am not surprised. It not everyday that they see their father, now is it, daughter?
Kagome blinked and looked between the demon in front of her and the two brothers behind her. Well that did explain the dead part. You are Inutaisho? Why are you lingering? Has your soul not been reincarnated?
Inutaisho chuckled. I expected nothing less out of a miko. No, my soul has not been reincarnated. It will be soon. Very soon actually. Well, soon in the terms of the dead. In your living terms, I feel like it will be in a couple months that my new body will be conceived.
That statement caught Kagomes attention. As a firm believer of reincarnations, how could she not be interested in what Inutaisho was saying. You mean, as a soul you know who your parents will be?
An amused smile crossed his lips. At this present time I can. When I become the soul of a new child I will forget, but yes, for right now I know who, I know where, I could even tell you how, but I dont think you would like to know that much. His eyes narrowed. Besides, I feel as if I should talk to my two sons. They sure have grown in such a short time. Before he elaborated further he turned his attention to Ryu. And you, you gained control of your youkai blood. Im happy to see that my blood can calm you such as it did.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were brought out of their thoughts at that comment. Inuyasha blinked and Sesshomaru had to deny his own instinct to copy his younger brothers example.
WHAT?! They both asked at the same time.
Ryu looked down at the ground. Its only temporary. Until I learn to do it with my own blood, grandfathers blood is helping me.
Inuyasha growled. So thats how you beat me.
Inutaisho chuckled again. Kagome was beginning to realize that the old taiyoukai was a very happy person. It was a fair fight, if I say so myself. You as a father must learn to accept that your son will one day surpass you. That is the only way we evolve.
Inuyasha snorted and Sesshomaru looked skyward. I must agree with my master Inuyasha-sama, Sesshomaru-sama. Ryu-san and Inu-Kana-san will one day surpass both of you in sk And And Ookami-san will do so with Kouga-san. Myouga said from his mysterious perch on Inutaishos shoulder.
Before Inuyasha could even comprehend to ask when Myouga had arrived, Shippos snort stopped his train of thought. What about me? Or does the kitsune not count?
Kagome smiled sympathetically. Shippo, you know you are the oldest. Your skill is just different. You can do things that Inuyasha could never consider doing. Like the transformation. That is a very good gift that your father will never be able to do.
Shippo sighed and leaned against the door frame. He smiled lightly. I guess that always has its perks.
Sesshomaru looked at his father. How long do you intend to linger, father?
Inutaisho looked indifferent as he replied to his eldest, I dont know. Possibly until Kaida returns. Maybe until Rin is returned.
Sesshomaru tensed at the sound of mates name and his impassive mask dropped.
Who says she will return?
All the demons looked at the taijiya with interest, Sesshomaru with pure unbridled hate. What do you mean, exterminator? Do you not believe us capable of defeating your master?
Sango stiffened, but Matsu laid a comforting hand on heruldeulder, one meant to calm her. Naraku is not my master. And though I believe you are capable of defeating Naraku, it is his minions I am afraid you might not be able to defeat.
Sesshomaru glared. Then we shall die trying. Because when we face him, I refuse to surrender. There will be only one battle. And we will either all die and allow the Shikon no Tama to fall into his hands, or we will win. Sesshomaru walked forward, brushing past his father. I am retiring. It is good to see you, father. Hopefully you will stick around.
Inutaisho did not comment on Sesshomarus cold behavior, knowing it was all an act. He watched as Kagome kissed Inuyasha before turing and pulling Sango behind her, glaring pointedly at Ryu, Shippo and Inu-Kana to not get into any trouble.
The three boys grinned and walked off, glancing at their grandfather one last time. That left Inutaisho and Inuyasha alone in trainraining room.
So, my son, I see you have gained control over tetsusaiga and managed to have a family. And quite a pleasant family at that. But I ask, where is that wolf, the father of the one who is courting Kaida?
Inuyasha sniffed the air lightly. In his room. It is well past midnight. And Kougas mate is not with him, she has fallen pregnant.
&;Rea;Really, brother, you make pregnancy sound like a disease. Sesaru aru said as he reentered the room. Inuyasha rolled hyes.yes.
Inutaisho turned to his eldest son. And you as well, Sesshomaru. You seem to have grown quite well since I visited you last. Rather heartless, but luckily you came around to Rin.
Sesshomaru, never one to spill his soul, said nothing as he drew tokijin. Are we going to fight?
Inutaisho grinned and drew his sword as well, watching Inuyasha transform tetsusaiga. Of course. Ive kept you waiting much too long.
Sesshomaru allowed a smirk to escape. Indeed.
<E/N: HE SAID INDEED! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Lol. You people won't get that, I don't think. But I do! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! .... I'm okay.>
*~*~*~*~*
Ookami looked out into the dark sky. Dawn was about to come. Only a couple more hours. Maybe only one hour. He turned his head to where Kaida was resting on his chest, using his tail as a blanket.
She had lied about being tired. She was exhausted and they were only about 10 miles outside of the village, not even a half-hour away. He sighed and allowed himself to fall into a light sleep; he sensed no danger anywhere close by.
*~*~*~*~*
The oni smirked from its position in the trees. The wolf didnt smell him. Narakus magic really was amazing. His master could hide scents from canine youkai. That was truly an amazing feet.
Baka looked back down at the cave that held the two canines and a small grin graced his lips as the wolf finally fell into a light sleep. All he had to do was kill the wolf and return the girl, then Naraku would be pleased. Very pleased.
*~*~*~*~*
Ookami snapped awake just in time to avoid the claws that would have ripped his chest open. He dodged and rolled, placing Kaida below and then behind him.
The oni looked at the two canines through his one eye and smirked. A wolf and a dog. How touching.
Ookami growled and adjusted Kaida onto his back, knowing she was still too drained to fight. The constant travel and then the soul exchange was too much for her. He didnt want to risk her fighting in her state so he just tried to dodge, hoping to find a safe place to let Kaida stay for awhile, while he killed oni oni in front of him.
Ookami felt the oni hit him with his massive arm, somehow finding them as Ookami had been thinking. Ookami had to adjust Kaida quickly, so she wouldnt crush against the rocks.
He cursed lightly as her eyes opened, knowing if she were awake she would try to fight. He jumped backwards, running his claws lightly over Kaidas thighs, hoping to distract her.
Kaida grinned slightly and nuzzled closer to him, her claws finding the base of his tail. Ookami hissed and tried to pull his tail away. That would not be good if she started playing with him like that. Not now anyway.
Baka grinned as the spike in Ookamis scent. Your bitch turning you on?
Ookami growled. Whats it to you?
Bakas grin faded into a scowl. Nothing. I just want your full attention on ME! He swung his arm at Ookami and the wolf had to dive under the oni&;s l;s legs to escape.
The second Ookamis feet hit the ground he took off for the cave entrance, hoping to run away, something he rarely did. As he reached the outside he caught sight and scent of Aran. Before he could use the breath to ask anything the neko spoke.
Transform and run! This is one of Narakus men! I will block him off, he has magic in him and strength that is beyond comprehend. Do not worry about me. Get to your uncles ce ane and warn them all that the battle is coming. Naraku does not intend to have this draw out. He wants the jewel and he will not back down when you meet on the battle field. Aran shot Ookami a pointed glare. GO! DAMN WOLF!
Ookami nodded and sped off, transforming as he went, begging that Kaida would hold onto him by instinct alone. The only thought going through his mind at the time was. This is not good.
*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha chuckled as he leaned against the wall, his haori pulled off because of the heat the three youkai had worked up fighting each other. Sesshomaru, you were always throwing me in rivers. I think you enjoyed having to brush my hair as a punishment.
The impassive inu-youkai snuffed and looked away. No, I just enjoyed watching it frizz up. Besides, your ears were always cooler and fun to play with. The last part was whispered but Inuyasha and Inutaisho heard it.
Inuyasha reached a hand up to pet his ear. Yeah, you messed em up enough. He muttered the next part. Never knew it was out of jealousy though.
Inutaisho shook his head at his sons behavior. No one knew the truth, but the two boys had been quite close as children. The thing that had torn them apart was his death and then the untimely death of Inuyashas mother. Sesshomaru had offered to take the twothemthem in, but the Lady of the Western Lands knew it would just cause hostility towards Sesshomarus new reign.
After that, where Sesshomaru had failed to save Inuyashas mother because of a war that had broken out, the two brothers had become hostile towards each other. Never to the brink of hating one another, but a sense of jealousy. It had only grown because it went untreated.
Now that the two were on good terms, Inutaisho held some hope that the brotherlatilationship would somewhat return to the way it use to be. <A/N: Its an original take on the Inu-Sesshy conflict! And he was jealous of Inus ears! But yeah, that spawned from reading one too many AU where they were on good terms with one another. And besides, you know Sesshy is just trying to train Inuyasha later on in the series.>
All three youkais heads shot up at the same time and they looked at one another. Ookami. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha said simultaneously.
Inutaisho nodded, following the two outside just in time to see Ookami jump up and over the wall, something that made Sesshomaru raise an eyebrow until he saw that Kouga had removed the barrier.
Kouga reached his human formed son first and was holding a sleeping Kaida in his arms while his son caught his breath. Hey! Dog shit! When did you think of showing up?
Inuyasha said nothing as he took Kaida from Kougas arms and raised his eyebrow at her appearance. Who is-?
Sesshomaru and Inutaisho were looking at Kaidas new body with fond eyes. Satya. This is Satyas reincarnation? Inutaisho turned questioning eyes to Ookami who was shaking his head.
Naraku... attack... battle.
Kagome, who had appeared with everyone else- even a tottering Jaken- rushed beside Ookami. Breathe, Ookami. Now what are you trying to say?
Ookami looked up and met the concerned eyes. Naraku has created new monsters. One of them attacked myself and Kaida while we were sleeping. Aran, the mate of Maeko- whos body Kaida is using temporarily- we left him fighting the monster. He me me to come here and tell you that Naraku wants the jewel. Naraku will not surrender and the first time we meet on the battlefield will be the last. Hes not holding anything back.
With the message delivered, Ookami allowed himself to faint, his own exhaustion and travel catching up to his body.
The tension was thick as Ryu lifted Ookami onto his back, the message the young wolf had just delivered hanging over all of them. The battle was going to happen, and soon.
